So I was previously carrying a Glock 39 in 45 GAP. Great gun and I like Glock just fine. However I've owned about 8 other kahr arms guns over the years and they've all been reliable and accurate guns. And I love the Kahr trigger as I'm a revolver man at heart and learned to shoot on DA revolvers from snub noses to 4 and 6 inch K,L and N frame smiths.
That said I've got a good friend who is a diehard Glock and 45 GAP fan. He owns the other two Glock models in this caliber,for which he hand loads for. I had a small stash of 45 GAP ammo and brass as well as the Glock 39 and 4 magazines. So he made me an offer I couldn't refuse that being my now kahr PM45 and a few hundred rounds of 45 ACP ammo.
So we swapped even up and this kahr even has trigicon night sights too which are brand new. So I'm very happy with this trade.
I promptly took the little 45 to the range and it performed flawlessly. Not a single bobble with 230 grain FMJ ammo or the gold dot and HST 230 grain JHP ammo.
I've owned 3 other PM45's over the last 4-5 years and foolishly sold or traded them for something else that I thought I just had to have.
Yet as it turned out I always missed the little polymer Kahr 45 enough to go buy another. All my other kahr pistols were the stainless slide models which I like just fine. But living in South Florida they would develop rust spots if not wiped down daily after carry. So I'm glad to have this one in their blackened stainless DLC finish. It's supposed to hold up better to corrosion we'll see if that's the case,but I love the gun.
Kahr Arms guns have always been reliable for me except for one during the 200 round break in period. But even that one a P9 smoothed out and ran fine around the 250 round mark. And it's been stone reliable ever since.
I love the 45 ACP round and the PM45 is scantly larger than the PM9 I used to own. It disappears under a T shirt AIWB,in a pocket or ankle holster. Almost everyone who I've shown it too thinks it's a 9mm due to it's diminutive size. The PM45 is no more difficult to carry and conceal than a snub nose revolver,with about the same size footprint.
It's also much more accurate and softer than you would think for such a small thin and lightweight 45 caliber gun. Maybe it's me but kahr arms guns have always seemed smaller,thinner and lighter than other makers guns in the same calibers.
Anyway thanks for read this far and if anyone else here is kahr fan PM45 or other model please let me know what you think of these guns. Especially their DLC finish how has yours held up to rust or other wear compared to their stainless models?
